We are small as bookshops go, but we hope that our customers will drop by, see how our tastes can align, and let us help them find new books. We started as a children’s bookstore, and with books on Goa, but today we also have a large Konkani section, and a huge stock of second-hand books. We do events too, like author meets, movie screenings, children’s workshops, and serve delicious coffee.
